Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Professionalism Studies

Background:

  • Professionalism is a core competency in medical training.
  • Assessing professionalism in physiatry residency programs requires reliable measurement tools.
  • Existing tools may need adaptation for specific medical specialties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the reliability and validity of a professionalism questionnaire for physiatry residents.
  • To identify underlying factors of professionalism within this cohort.
  • To compare findings with established professionalism assessment models.

Main Methods:

  • A 12-item questionnaire, adapted from the American Board of Internal Medicine's tool, was administered to 122 physiatry residents across six programs.

  • Response rate was 59% (72 participants).
  • Internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha) and factor analysis were conducted.

    • Main Results:

    • The questionnaire demonstrated satisfactory internal reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.75).
    • Mean item score was 7.7 out of 10, indicating a high perceived level of professionalism.
    • Factor analysis yielded three key factors: excellence, honor/integrity, and altruism/respect, explaining 64% of the variance.

    Conclusions:

    • The adapted questionnaire is a reliable tool for measuring professionalism in physiatry residency.
    • The identified factors align with those found in broader internal medicine assessments.
    • This study supports the development of standardized professionalism assessment in physiatry training.
